Even as Anglophone power wanes in Asia, and China and India rise,
the role of the English language in the region continues to
develop. How are students in Asian nations such as Vietnam,
Malaysia and China itself being taught English? This much-needed
overview analyzes the differing language education policies of
selected countries that also include Indonesia, Japan and Sri
Lanka. Noting ASEAN's adoption of English as its sole working
language, it traces the influence of globalization on English
language education in Asia: in many systems, it pushes local
languages off the curriculum and is taught as a second language
after the national one. Informed by a comprehensive review of
current research and practice in English teaching in Asia, this
volume considers the many different roles English is playing across
the region, as well as offering an informed assessment of the
prospects of English-and Chinese-being a universal language of
communication.
